Chapter 163: Generosity
"Borrow money?"
Ye Huan looked nervously.
It's okay, why do you mention this?
Sima Jie said with a smile: "Recently, the city has been restored, and everything is developing in a good way, which is a great thing." ”
"But the construction of the City Lord's Mansion should also be put on the agenda, and many colleagues are ready to come back to work. ”
"It's a pity that the treasury of the City Lord's Mansion was looted by the thieves, so now, I can't take out a copper plate. ”
Sima Jie sighed: "Since ancient times, soldiers have been paid, and officials have been paid, if there is no pay and no salary, I can't play it!"
"And the construction of a city, although it is necessary to involve the common people, but this kind of spontaneous and unprofessional. When doing things, they often talk to themselves, and no one obeys anyone. ”
"After a long time, there will definitely be a lot of contradictions, and if you don't get it right, you will lay the root cause and cause future crimes. ”
Sima Jie continued: "Therefore, I hope to immediately set up the City Lord's Mansion and take over in the name of the official, so that Longtan Pass can be better developed." ”
"What I said is really reasonable and sincere. ”
"I almost believed it. ”
Ye Huan shrugged: "What are you talking about, what does it have to do with me?"
Sima Jie was suddenly embarrassed: "I heard that little brother, you have broken the anti-thief, harvested the treasury, and seized a lot of dirty silver, and you are currently handling and distributing it." ”
"Hehe, to say that this is no silver, I think, a little unreasonable. ”
Ye Huan said: "When did I say that I don't have any money? Besides, whether I have any money or not, and whether I do the distribution work or not, what does this have to do with you, if you say useless things to me again, I will sue you for disturbing the people." ”
Sima Jie suddenly stopped, and his eyes rolled back and forth.
Ye Huan took two steps, squinted his eyes and said, "You don't think that you are the city lord, so you can exert lewd coercion on me and force me to hand over the silver, right?"
"No, no, no, little brother, you misunderstood, as an exiled city lord, I was able to come back this time, all for the sake of my little brother, who was able to quell the rebellion!"
Sima Jie said with a serious expression: "If there was no such thing, would I have done this?"
"Impossible. ”
"Therefore, I only have gratitude to you, without any comparison, oppression, little brother must understand my original intention. ”
Ye Huan said: "Then I understand, you can go." ”
Sima Jie sighed.
Unexpectedly, such a painstaking persuasion with Ye Huan was useless.
But he is also quite self-contained, and he did not embarrass Ye Huan.
After walking a few steps, Ye Huan said again: "I can only give you one million silver." ”
"If it's enough, you weigh it yourself, and I need a bill, if it's wrong, I'll demolish your City Lord's Mansion. ”
Sima Jie was stunned for a moment, because he didn't expect that there was still hope for success in this matter.
"Much, how much?"
His eyes widened.
"A million!"
Ye Huan repeated.
"It's a little less, but I don't get much in itself, as the city lord, I don't think you can't have any private money, right? I'm just an outsider, you're the parent official of this place!"
Sima Jie's forehead was covered with cold sweat, his annual income was less than five hundred taels, and all the officials of the City Lord's Mansion owed it, plus a lot of bad debts left over from history, counting together, it was nothing more than fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver.
Counting the restoration of buildings, the formation of a guard group, the hiring of thugs, the increase and improvement of benefits, etc., more than 100,000 will come down!
This Ye Huan is good, his mouth is a million!
Such a number almost made Sima Jie sit on the ground.
Do you say less??
This young man really has a big appetite!
"No, not less. ”
"Should.. Enough. ”
Sima Jie said with an embarrassed smile.
"Tomorrow, contact the locals, the leaders of the ten major clans, and some respected figures, and ask them all to be present, I can't just listen to you about this matter, so you go and prepare now." ”
"If you don't come, I won't go. ”
After Ye Huan finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Sima Jie was a little embarrassed, but at this time, he was also a little excited, and this matter was not too difficult.
Unexpectedly, such a big thing, I thought it was impossible to succeed, but when it really happened, it was so sudden that it was a little hard to believe!
..
Ye Huan began to wander around Longtan Pass.
The official information and the results given, he did not believe.
You must know that in this place of Longtan Pass, there have always been anti-thieves for many years.
And every attack will succeed!
He personally inspected the defense of Longtan Pass, as well as the thickness of the city wall, it can be said that as long as Longtan Pass is seriously defended, it will not be defeated by poorly equipped and leaderless anti-thief soldiers at all!
Therefore, Ye Huan was very suspicious that there should be any other reasons in this battle.
It was for these reasons that the battle was ultimately lost.
If we can't find the reason, I believe that the same thing will happen in the future.
Ye Huan bothered to try here.
The purpose of trying his best to restore the economic and social order here is actually very simple, he wants to set up a pilot project here.
If it succeeds here, more places can follow suit in the future.
But.
All his efforts are based on the fact that the future of this place must be harmonious and stable, and that there will be no more thieves to patronize it.
If there are any anti-thieves in this place, and there can still be a large-scale attack, and give a mediocre city lord like Sima Jie to the city lord, it will still fail.
It means that no matter how much effort is made, the fruits of hard work and labor will eventually be looted.
Such a thing is unacceptable in any way.
So the problem is really simple now.
Ye Huan didn't inform anyone, he just wandered around the city.
After all, with what he has seen and heard in this Wind Forest Continent in the past few years, and the excavation of the lazy system, there are some things that he can see with his eyes.
It's hard to disguise yourself in front of him.
Therefore, the data given by others can only be used as a reference.
As for the truth, we have to study it ourselves.
Under the city.
"Who?"
There is a warrior who, it seems, is sneaky.
As if he had some plan, he held a storage bracelet and looked around warily.
Seeing no one, the kid began to run away, but unfortunately, he didn't escape far and fell down all at once.
Ye Huan withdrew his thigh and looked at the person.
"What for?"
"Leave it to you!"
The kid stood up suddenly.
His fist was like a whirlwind, emitting a blinding light.
This makes his punches look so strong.
Give it a ferocious stab.
It feels really a little too scary.
